Rudi Garcia, the coach of Al Nassr, has revealed that Cristiano <keyword id="6035" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ronaldo" source="Orion">Ronaldo</keyword> will make his debut for the <keyword id="15929532" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Saudi-Arabian-club" source="Orion">Saudi Arabian club</keyword> as part of an exhibition team in a friendly against <keyword id="195179" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Paris-Saint-Germain" source="Orion">Paris Saint-Germain</keyword> (PSG), which could pit him against Lionel Messi, reported Skysports. The star forward has been suspended by the Football Association for knocking a phone out of the hand of a young supporter following Manchester United's defeat at Everton in April. It has pushed back Ronaldo's much-anticipated debut, which is now expected to take place in a showcase match against PSG in Riyadh on January 19, complicating Garcia's domestic planning. "It won't be with the Al Nassr jersey. It will be a mix between Al Hilal and Al Nassr. As the coach of Al Nassr, I cannot be happy with this match. For development, to see PSG, to see the great Parisian players, indeed it is a good thing. But we have a championship game three days later," Skysports quoted Al Nassr coach Rudi Garcia as saying. "In terms of scheduling, it could have been better thought out. But it's not a big deal... We are in the lead, we are happy. It is a difficult championship to win, but we intend to do it," Garcia added. Garcia has also stated that his task is to help Ronaldo rediscover his love for the game after a difficult year. "The only thing I want is for him to enjoy playing football again and smile. In recent months, between Manchester United, the national team and also at a private level, he has not had easy moments. If he finds the pleasure of playing again, a good goal will be achieved," he said. Garcia compared Ronaldo's arrival in Saudi Arabia to Pele's game-changing partnership with the New York Cosmos in 1975, which sparked massive interest in football in the United States. "It's a bit like Pele's arrival, especially for the development of football, sport and culture in Saudi Arabia," Garcia said. "It's great. Great for us, for Al-Nassr. Great for Saudi Arabia. Cristiano Ronaldo is more than a player. He is one of the best players in the world. It's amazing how much it's put a spotlight on our club. Now everyone knows where our club is around the world. We must have gone from 800,000 to 10m [followers] in a few hours, a few days, because of Cristiano's arrival," the coach of Al Nassr said.

The Class 12 examinations will be held in 14 working days and will end on March 4. For the first time, UP Board examinees will get stitched answer sheets. The move is aimed at preventing the copy mafia from changing answer sheets of meritorious students because in the previous years there were complaints of changing copies by removing staples. Also, answer sheets given to the students will have barcodes and monograms on them. The initiatives are being taken with an aim to eliminate the scope of manipulation of answer sheets. The Board will also conduct random checks of some answer sheets using the barcodes which will further put a noose around those involved in copying. Over three crore answer sheets will be required for the UP Board examinations. Model exam questions for Class 10 and Class 12.

Team India head <keyword id="4797035" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="coach-rahul-dravid" source="Orion">coach Rahul Dravid</keyword>, commonly known as '<keyword id="272592" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-wall" source="Orion">The Wall</keyword>', is renowned for weathering the storm and helping his side turn the tables after being completely down and out. As the former Indian skipper celebrates his 50th birthday on Wednesday, let's have a look at some of his <keyword id="16028377" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="finest-knocks-in-international-cricket" source="Orion">finest knocks in international cricket</keyword>. When one thinks about Dravid's greatest knocks, it is hard to go past his 180-run innings against Australia at the Eden Gardens in 2001. This knock by the batter is still viewed as one of the grittiest knocks in the longest format of the game. Australia was in the driver's seat for the majority of the game and the match was a must-win for India after losing the first Test. Australians were in total control at the Eden Gardens as they enforced the follow-on. India was bowled out for 171 in response to Australia's 445 in the first innings. The Indian openers were dismissed in the second innings, and it was then that Dravid and VVS Laxman came to the rescue. Nobody could have predicted that the two would go on to generate a "miracle" for the team. Both batters went on to score 376 runs in a row. Laxman and Dravid annihilated Australia's bowling attack, which included Shane Warne and Glenn Mcgrath. Another knock is his 270-run innings against Pakistan at Rawalpindi in 2004. The three-match series was levelled at 1-1 and there was pressure on the Indian side to register their first Test series win in Pakistan. Dravid, who served as stand-in skipper for the first two Tests, was deprived of the command when regular skipper Sourav Ganguly returned. Dravid had been out of sorts in the previous two matches, but in the game, the former Indian captain blasted his detractors with a 200-plus knock. Virender Sehwag was sent to the pavilion on the first ball of the match, and from there onwards, 'The Wall' took the charge. His knock enabled India to win the game and he went on to be adjudged as the Man of the Match. Dravid's 146-run performance against England at the Oval in 2011 is one of his most underappreciated efforts. India batters had a dismal series, and the team was 0-3 down heading into the last match. Because regular opener Gautam Gambhir was out with an injury, Dravid returned to the crease to open the batting. India continued to lose wickets at regular intervals, but Dravid held his ground and went on to score an unbroken 146. His innings did not save the game for India, but he went on to become the team's leading run-scorer in the series. Dravid also demonstrated remarkable team spirit by taking up the duties of a wicket-keeper in the ODI format since the team management thought they might play an extra bowler if a well-set batsman also served as the wicket-keeper. Dravid is the only player to be involved in two 300-plus ODI partnerships. He has played 164 Tests, 344 ODIs, and one T20I for India. The batter finally announced his retirement from international cricket in March 2012. He finished his career with 48 international centuries. Dravid took over the head coach's role of Team India in November 2021.
